cp command help
ok I'm trying to install ipblock and the directions state...
To build Fedora Core or OpenSuSE packages copy the source tarball to /usr/src/*/SOURCES and use the iplist.spec file which is in the source tree. # cp iplist-<version>.tar.gz /usr/src/*/SOURCES # rpmbuild -ba iplist.spec The build rpm and source rpm are located in /usr/src/*/RPMS/<arch> and /usr/src/*/SRPMS/, respectively. and I think I'm having so much trouble is because I dont really have any knowledge of how the cp command works like for intense are the <> necessary and what does the star character do/mean? if someone could give a rundown of how it works using this as an example I would greatly appreciate it thanks |
Man page. To answer your question:
The <version> means 'put your version number in here' The * is a wildcard Don't forget, don't put those # signs in, they mean you ought to run them as root |
I am already running as root under the su command but anyway when I put in
cp iplist-0.26.tar.gz /usr/src/*/SOURCES all's I get is cp: cannot stat `iplist-0.26.tar.gz': No such file or directory so what am I doing wrong? |
Does that file exist?
|
yes it does it's on the desktop I've even ran cd /home/vmplanet/desktop as I thought that this might be the problem but no I still get the same message
|
Try cp /home/vmplanet/desktop/iplist-0.26.tar.gz /usr/src/*/SOURCES, but it may be the destination that doesn't exist. What does "ls -l /usr/src" give you
|
ran it and it gave me the same thing well here's the info you requested

The error is for the file specified. Do me a favour and paste in the command exactly, and do me a:
Code:
ls -alEDIT: By which I mean, paste in exactly which cp command you're using, and the result of the above |
What was that a response to?
|
and what do you mean which cp command? I just type cp iplist-0.26.tar.gz /usr/src/*/SOURCES
